Jarden looked at his grandfather and sighed. He knew that no matter what he said there concerning telling Alex and Ander, his grandfather would not listen. He was even tired of trying to talk to him about it. He couldn't just understand why he would be doing this. "Right, grandfather. I would pick flowers myself. His favorite and tell the driver to get himself ready, we move in two hours," he said and turned to leave. "I called Dad and he said they would be home soon by tomorrow or next."His grandfather acknowledged him and he left downcast. *********** ZICO had been up before everyone else in Greywave. He woke up two hours before the people could think of waking up and ever since then he has been on his system gathering up files. First time in years, he stayed back in his room after waking up. He was so engrossed that all the notifications popping up on his phone, he ignored them. This file he was trying to gather up was way more important tha
"Oh, mummy. Who are these enemies of yours? Have they forgotten you have got a lioness like me," Shina said, frowning her cute little face. For so long, JB and his father had been trying to hold their waves of laughter but after what Shina said, they let out their waves of laughter which came as a surprise to Shina and her mom. "Grandpa, why are you laughing?""Your mom has got invisible enemies that she thinks are after her," JB said and continued laughing. Shina palmed her face and pouted her lips. "Even if they are invisible, what's important is that there are enemies, and enemies I know are not friendly," she added and Luke rolled his eyes and tapped on the table. This was typically Josh. When they were younger, Josh would whine and make unnecessary noise. It's blood and it flowed inside Shina so he should not be surprised. Ander found the girl cute and wished she was Alex's daughter. He would have pampered her so well. He has been trying to figure out who they were and for th
Ander met Alex as she made her way downstairs. Her eyes were puffy and he needed no soothsayer to tell him that his sister had been crying. "Sis, are you alright?"Alex smiled at him and nodded her head. "Your sister has never been better. I am sorry I left the dining room.""It's fine sister, do you wish to talk about it," he asked calmly. Alex grinned at him despite being sad. The Ander in front of her was acting all grown up. "I would like to talk about it but not now. You know our usual. We could grab food outside like before." Ander lit up his eyes, "sister, that's so cool. Let's roll then." The siblings giggled as they walked out of the mansion. ************** After Ander left the dining room, the dining became so silent like a graveyard. Shina had to be looking from one person to another and when she could not understand what was going on, she calmly came down and left the dining room like a child who had been deprived of her chance to play w
Alex and Ander got to the car and Alex creased her brows in askance. The dude scanned her and smirked before coming down from the car.Alex smiled when she realized who he was and stretched her hand toward him. "Jerry Chamber, long time.""Long time indeed, Miss Coker. Look at you, you are so grown. I could only recognize you by your pretty face." The guy said and took her hand in his and then drew it slowly to his lips and kissed it. "I can't believe I am seeing you again, Miss Coker," he said after kissing her hand. Alex chuckled and withdrew her hand from his and put it behind her. She could see a lot of changes in him. Way back then, Jerry would have jumped on her but here, he was being a gentleman. That was a good thing though because Josh would get so mad to see someone hugging his precious wife but no one would blame Jerry because he wouldn't know that Alex was married. "How time flies, I am shocked to see you as well. Who would think that thick head Jerry would b
"Dad, I was thinking what if I take full management of the corporation if you don't mind," The last thing Senior Bleak has expected to hear from his son. This couldn't be happening. Did he have a brain factory reset or what? "Well, I must say I am surprised. Josh has the decision to make. I handed everything over to him when you were not willing to be responsible."JB was surprised to hear that from his father. "Why all to Josh, what about Luke?" "JB, you seem to forget my rules regarding Bleak corporation. Luke is on a heavy allowance. He gets thousands of dollars in a month so he is not lacking in any way, financially and otherwise. He has to be married first for him to be able to hold an office, that's how it works. So when he gets married, an office will be given to him." JB sighed after hearing all his dad had to say. He totally forgot, he was just thinking maybe his dad excluded Luke. No matter what it is that anyone thinks, Luke is a Bleak and that's how it will
Josh quickly snatched the phone from her and the picture he saw was Alex and Ander with a guy who seemed to be kissing her hand romantically while Alex smiled lovely at him. He looked closely and could not believe that this guy had to be his friend, Jerry Chamber. He scrolled to the next pictures and saw Alex laughing at something and the next picture was when the three of them hopped into Jerry's car. Bianca did not fail to note the different emotions that played out on his face while he watched the pictures. Josh handed the phone to her with an expressionless face, "I am sure you will be disappointed to know that the guy is a family friend so Alex going out with him means nothing. You can leave my room now, thank you." Bianca was sure Josh was lying. When did it become okay for a married lady to go out with a guy other than her husband? She took the phone from him and shrugged off her shoulders. "You can pretend for all I care but be rest assured that Alex would soon
Jessica Coker was written boldly on the downside of the picture. A mere look at it one would tell the person in the picture was Alex's younger version and Luke could swear down with his life that this lady in the picture was Alex's mom. There was only one Jessica Coker he knew and that was Alex's mom. Luke was trying to figure out what Jessica's picture will be doing in his father's room. Could it be that they are related? Luke had many questions running through his mind and the only person who could answer them was ZICO. He picked the picture and stared at it and then kept it back. He opened the desk and found it empty, he opened the down one and found a photo album. He picked up the photo album and started flipping through it. He was just seeing a bunch of old pictures of people he didn't know, he continued to flip regardless. It came to a stage where he started recognizing some photos. He could make out ZICO's pictures when he was a kid and he looked so much like Luk
ZICO killed the engine of his car, picked up his laptop, and got down from the car. When he looked around and saw no one in sight, he ventured into the building in the opposite direction. He did not go straight to the entrance, but rather walked behind the building and cracked the hidden door open. You can only know there was a door at the back of the building if you are conversant with the building. The building is an old one and it doesn't attract people to it because they feel it's worthless. But you could be shocked to find out that someone actually lives in it. ZICO was walking through the dark corridor when someone cleared his throat behind him. "What brought you here so early in the morning?"The man whose face has not been revealed due to how dark the corridor was, asked ZICO. "Father, you scared me," ZICO replied, clutching his heart ******* Luke sighed and shook his head, he was getting a headache from all of these. He put the album back and pocketed the papers and turn
